When the textile factory closed in May, I fell 4 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $150.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by August, we must leave.
I have two young children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working weekend shifts, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $150 goes:
• Late fees and court costs: $25
• First month of rent as a buffer: $95
• Utilities in arrears: $30
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Vy
Quick update: $128 raised so far (85%). I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($93 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vy
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. late fees and court costs comes first ($25) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Thinking of you and your family. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan.
